COAL RUN, KY. (WMDJ) — A Pikeville man has been arrested after police say he repeatedly made false emergency calls at a Coal Run motel.

Coal Run Police responded to the Daniel Boone Motor Inn on Monday evening after 45-year-old Ryan Jay Cornwell claimed someone was trying to break into his room. Officers said no evidence supported the report. Cornwell called again an hour later, prompting officers to review surveillance footage, which showed no activity around his room. During their follow-up interview, police said Cornwell admitted to smoking meth hours earlier.

Early Wednesday morning, Cornwell reported that two deceased individuals were inside his room. Kentucky State Police and EMS responded, but found only Cornwell and no one else on the property.

He was charged with falsely reporting an incident that resulted in an emergency response, a felony, and with public intoxication.
